The MPK4000Y course introduces an integrated approach to human movement in the context of professional kinesiology. The central tenet of this integrated approach is that every individual, regardless of age, experience, fitness or job status, needs the capacity to meet the demands of their life. This model provides a common foundation to establish recommendations to prevent injury, manage chronic disease and increase performance. Students will improve their ability to meet clients’ specific needs by developing an appreciation for screening, assessment and exercise program design – having the knowledge and skills to assess, design, implement and evaluate will distinguish exceptional professionals who change lives from those who design “hard” workouts. Using a combination of teaching styles (e.g., lecture, reflection, discussion, observation and demonstration), small and large group activities, case studies, and hands-on experiences, students will be provided with the knowledge and tools to make exercise matter for any client.

Course duration:
• 4 weeks • 50 hours of asynchronous and in-person learning activities
